  • Engineering degree (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong problem-solving ability and a proactive mindset
  • Team-oriented approach with good communication skills
  • Adaptability and willingness to take on varied engineering challenges

 

What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Annual bonus linked to company performance
  • Private medical care
  • 25 days holiday + additional long service leave
  • Pension scheme
  • Flexible / hybrid working options
  • Ongoing training and development support
  • Supportive, collaborative team culture

 

This is an excellent opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys hands-on, varied work and wants to be part of a growing business where engineering quality and teamwork are at the core.
